Ms Victoria McDonagh (Team Leader, North) introduced the report
and answered members’ questions. She clarified that the
proposal would deliver 194 dwelling units, 35.1% of which would be
affordable housing by habitable room. With reference to the
supplementary report, she explained the discrepancies on car
parking facilities, the proposed habitable room numbers and the
applicant’s redesign of the habitable room windows to protect
outlook to Morrisons site . In view of the latter, Ms McDonagh recommended an
amendment to condition 3 to enable both the obscure
glazing of secondary windows and the submission and approval of
revised details showing suitable projecting (oriel) window
arrangements of the primary habitable room windows along the
façade.

Mr Robert Dunwell
spoke in objection on behalf of Queensbury Area Residents’
Association (QARA) on the following
grounds;

a.
Excessive housing density

b.
Overlooking to properties in Winchester Avenue.

c.
Gross reduction in the number of car parking spaces

d.
Lack of report from the Metropolitan Police on potential crime
increase.

e.
No quantification of the impact of the proposed CPZ.

f.
Lack of local amenity access report

g.
Lack of assessment against the Public Sector Equality Duty and
consequent threat of a judicial review.

Mr Mark Jackson (applicant) stated that the
proposed development would deliver 194 new dwelling units and
affordable housing and about 10% designed in accordance with the
London Plan accessibility standards for people with
disabilities. He added that the
development which would be permit free, would maintain clear
distance to Winchester Avenue and deliver highways improvements to
the area. He referenced the positive feedback from the exhibitions
held prior to submission. In response to a Member’s enquiry
on travel plan, Mr Jackson stated that Fairview Homes would promote
travel by public transport and cycling and in addition, there would
be a 3 year free membership for Car Club.

In responding to issues raised by the
objector, Ms McDonagh advised that the density of the scheme had
been reviewed by GLA officers and considered to offer high quality
homes with good space standards, close to public transport on a
brownfield site. She added that the
distance to Winchester Avenue of 78metres would be in excess of SPG
standards and prevent any severe overlooking. Members were advised that the residential units
would afford natural surveillance onto Westmoreland Road and
enhance the residential feel of the area, hence there was no
requirement for Metropolitan Police assessment report. She reiterated the highways impact which had been
robustly assessed by Highways officers in respect of improvements,
encouragement for modal change to public transport use, permit free
scheme and a Car Club. Ms McDonagh
advised that the scheme complied with the Equality Act as it would
not adversely impact on or prejudice any particular group.

DECISION: Granted planning
permission, subject to planning obligations set out in the
committee report and the additional condition and alteration to the
heads of terms specified within the supplementary
report.
